Put my awning out for the first time last night and it has a kind of sour smell to it from the moisture in it all winter. Is there a certain cleaner that any of you use that will get rid of this smell?
Brush down the awning using some soap/water/bleach ... roll it up for at least 1/2 hour while it's soapy ... unfurl and hose down. Easy way to keep it clean.
Camco cleaner gets some good reviews. Put some in a garden sprayer, spray it on and roll up the awning. Let is sit for 30-60 minutes then unroll and scrub off the heavier stains with a sponge mop or broom and spray off the rest.
Dilutted bleach and water, scrub both top and bottom, rinse and leave out to throughly dry! The smell is probably from mold! Might want to test a small portion with your diluted bleach solution before doing the whole thing!
